Hi
I have a lot of ASM snippets and I am in the process of trying to recode most of them to C. It is a long and tedious process it seems to make sure they are identical and function identically.
Is there any scripts or tooling that can automate this process to rebuild the structural syntax and I relabel the global and local defines as needed after the process completes?
" the .net app can read the serial stream and give the user some feedback"
This must be the key to it:
As far as the .NET app is concerned, it is just talking to a serial stream - it sends command to it, and receives responses from it in accordance with your interface specification. There is no need for the .NET app to have any knowledge whatsoever of how the remote unit is implemented - whether it's an 8051, another PC, written in 'C', or assembler, or whatever.
Similarly, the 8051 just receives commands on its serial stream, acts accordingly, and sends its response(s). Again, there is no need for the 8051 to have any knowledge whatsoever of how the remote unit is implemented - whether it's a PC, another 8051, or whatever.
